	US based Brunswick Laboratories is an internationally recognised, independent bio-analytical laboratory, specialising in the research and diagnostic services relating to Antioxidants and Oxidative Stress. Oxidative stress is the negative effect created in the body by “free radicals” and has been identified as a major factor in the progression of aging and disease. Antioxidants are known to counteract these damage-causing radicals. To date, Brunswick Laboratories’ ground-breaking research has resulted in major advancements in the knowledge of antioxidants. Brunswick Laboratories is used by many leading health research institutions and companies in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries for product testing. The Ultralife products were tested in March 2004 and found to be some of the highest quality, most effective food supplements in the world.
	HFL is UKAS accredited under ISO 17025, and is a WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) accredited laboratory. Click here if you wish be directed to WADA’s accredited laboratories web page for more information. HFL offers a screening service designed to help nutritional supplement manufacturers and retailers ensure that their products are not contaminated with specific stimulant drugs at or above particular concentrations. From the ultralife product range a few products were selected which act as good representatives for the complete ultralife product portfolio, to test for the presence of a number of anabolic steroids and stimulants in determined quantities. We would expect and almost guarantee the same results in all our other products as we manufacturer all products ourselves, following and maintaining high manufacturing standards. At ultralife we know the importance of ingesting only high quality and trusted supplemental and nutritional product ingredients. Therefore we submitted our products for testing to ensure that our products are certified to meet the stringent testing standards for nutritional supplements screened for stimulant drugs.

	Bioperine© is a patented nutrient that has been clinically proven to increase the absorption of other nutrients by up to 60%.
	Tocomin® is a patented and natural full spectrum tocotrienol and tocopherol complex. It provides all the four forms of tocotrienol - alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocotrienol in significant level. The term vitamin E is now considered to be the generic name describing both the tocopherols and tocotrienols. Tocotrienol is a potent form of vitamin E found in fruits and vegetable oils with palm oil as the richest source in nature. Human studies have shown that tocotrienols help to support a healthy cardiovascular and cholesterol health. It has also been shown to inhibit breast cancer cells and protect skin from damage caused by UV-rays and environmental pollutants. It is about 40-60 times more powerful as an antioxidant compared to the regular tocopherol vitamin E.
	Caromin® is a patented natural mixed carotenoids complex of natural alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene and other carotenoids, a unique mixture in natural proportion, as found in carrots. Caromin® is the only true full spectrum carotenoids complex with the highest ratio of alpha-carotene. Alpha-carotene has been proven to a much more potent antioxidant compared to beta-carotene and helps to protect against lung cancer. The unique combination of carotenoids in natural proportion as found in Caromin® and their synergistic effects may ultimately confer the many beneficial health effects associated with carotene.
	Tomat-O-Red © is a patented natural extract of red, ripe, tomatoes which is clinically proven to be superior in both bioavailability and effectiveness in comparison to conventional Lycopene extracts. Lycopene is a phytonutrient found in fruit and vegetables, including tomatoes, red peppers, red grapefruit, and helps to protect against both breast cancer and prostate cancer, maintain a healthy heart, support healthy cholesterol levels and protect skin from damage caused by solar radiation and environmental pollutants. It also has powerful antioxidant properties.
	FloraGLO© Lutein is a patented, natural, clinically proven, purified, form of Lutein, which is fully bioavailable and is directly absorbed by the body
	Ester-C© is a patented form of vitamin C, which is clinically proven to enter the bloodstream 4 times faster and to be 400% more bioavailable than standard vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Ester-C stays in the body tissues longer and 1/3 as much is lost through excretion; it is also the only form of Vitamin C that is non-acidic and therefore completely stomach ‘friendly’, even at high doses.
	Exceptionally potent antioxidant; 20 times more potent than vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) and 50 times more potent than vitamin C (ascorbic acid); neutralizes harmful free-radical toxins in the body and thereby supports healthy cellular, tissue and organ function, as well as improved energy levels, stamina, vitality, and wellbeing. ActiVin® is the most intensively studied proprietary grape seed extract worldwide and has been shown to have superior antioxidant activity compared with other leading OPC-containing grape seed extracts; ActiVin® is derived using a unique, patented ethanol and water-based extraction process (ActiPure™) which does not strip out valuable nutrients typical in commonly used grape seed extraction methods.
